Writer/director Rob Lambert has long been fascinated by stories that delve deep into the human condition and for his feature film debut Cuck, he's not straying far from his previous work.

Cuck stars Zachary Ray Sherman as Ronnie, a lonely young man struggling to find his place in the world. He finds some solace and a sense of community as an Alt-Right vlogger but even that has its problems and soon, he moves from just talking about hate to acting on that hate - or so it appears.

The themes explored by Lambert and co-writer Joe Varkle are timely and important and Cuck certainly looks promising as a serious drama that tackles some big issues. The question that remains to be seen is whether the movie manages to avoid being melodramatic or too obvious with its messaging.
